Can't believe I'm the first to review this no frills cupcake/muffin shop!…read more When I travel for work, I always search for cupcakeries, and this seemed to be the only cupcake shop within walking distance of my hotel in Davenport. (and it was well within walking distance - glad I don't live near a place like this - I'd weigh a million pounds) The inside of the shop is nothing to speak of. There were a couple people hanging out reading the paper and drinking coffee, but there was a good selection of cupcakes and muffins. I bought a couple things to eat over the course of my trip - a pumpkin muffin, a cappuccino chocolate chunk muffin, and a chocolate cupcake stuffed with chocolate filling. The cupcake was good...but, wow! Those muffins! I love cappuccino muffins and the one I had was absolutely amazing. Although it was hot as hades outside, I enjoyed the fall inspired pumpkin muffin. They were really very good - dense but not to heavy. Soft but not crumbly. THIS is how muffins should be made. This is a definitely a little hidden gem worth checking out if you're in the quad cities!

Aldi's is an amazing underrated store where you can find anything but preservative free chicken…read morebreasts, seasonal foods & other items for decorating, etc. You truly never know what you will find each trip to Aldi's. My latest super finds were a compact (6"x 8") sewing kit in an awesome plastic dual opening container. For 4.99! You get 20 mini (but good sized) spools of different colored threads, a tape measure, a scissors, an assortment of sewing needles in a separate holder, a needle threader, a cute little tomato pin cushion, an assortment of stick pins w multi colored ends, container of safety pins & a few buttons, & even a thimble!!! All this comes in a perfectly designed plastic box w 2 openings -1 for the spools of thread, w neat compartments to keep them organized & easy to see, & another for all the tools & other items. Not only that, but things like the needles, stick pins, safety pins & buttons, even the threader (which I didn't know even existed but I am sure glad it does w my almost 60 yr old vision);are all in their own little containers so everything stays in one place & doesn't get lost or messy. The plastic case is clear so you can see everything & it's not cheaply made-the openings & closures are durable & easy to use. I looked all over for some sewing needles, but I still was having difficulty getting them threaded. I was just browsing the 'middle aisle' I call the surprise aisle bc you literally never know what you might find!! I wasn't looking for or expecting to find a well stocked compact sewing kit, great for travel, keeping in your desk at work, or even tossing it in your purse just in case. It's also a great gift for college kids, bachelors, teens, women of any age, coworkers, white elephant gift exchanges, & more. I also picked up a nice set of 4 kitchen towels for my adult son & some matching dishcloths w a scrubber side in neutral colors & generous sized-$2.99 for each. I had just spent hrs looking through another store that had a good selection of dish towels but no cloths, & I spent 9.99 for 4 smaller sized towels in a "discount" store! Lesson learned -check Aldi's first, for whatever you may be looking for. They even had a nice set of blackout, heavy weight, attractive grommet curtains in a good size for patio doors or windows in a neutral color for $13.99 for 2 panels! Gotta give Aldi's buyers props!!! The food selection rocks too, along w the prices. Just one thing to keep in mind -if you see something you want, get it when you can, bc it probably won't be there next time. But a whole new variety of things will replace it. Thanks Aldi!!!

This is rating is for this place as a lunch spot. Probably not going back. Walked in said hello,…read morewaitress (hotess? idk, first time here) walks up, then instead of greeting us, goes to the cash register to our left. Busily says "hi" and nothing else, then waves over a couple to ring up. There's no one else around. We stand in place. And wait and wait and wait. She never says anything else to us and she's three feet to our left. Because she didn't say we could seat ourselves, we waited for her to finish ringing up the couple. Once she had, she almost annoyed told us to sit wherever we wanted. So, this waitress no bueno and she does her job like she hates it. I was glad she did not wait on us. Please have a greeter, or a sign or something. Be aware this is the rural midwest (I grew up here, I get to criticize). Everyone will stare at you as you walk in and find your seat if they don't know you. It's because the duality of the midwest commands that you say hi to them, but because they don't know you from church, they will not say hello back. Just ignore them. It's the only way to get a midwesterner to stop icily staring at you: say hello to them. If they don't know you from church, they'll move on. I know most locals will love this place, but I didn't enjoy it. It was nothing special and I was hoping for a nice, fun little lunch. No fun. Just lunch, and a very so-so lunch. Cavernous space, adjacent to an even larger event space. Service was fast, perfunctory. Small kitchen, they do soups and sandwiches for lunch. Soup was good, sandwich was meh. It's all the very standard lunch fare. Not a food destination. I'll also say it's not much of a wine destination. Each of ours tasted really green to me and I don't consider myself a wine snob. I've simply drunk lots and lots of wine. They removed the only non-sweet white wine from the menu, the one I wanted to try. Lovely view of the property out back. I remember when the front house was an abandoned property many years ago. I wish them well, but it's not for me. It's more an event space

Okay, here goes That was our second trip to Lavender Crest and it was nicer than the first. It's just off the I-80 and they have the most beautiful facility. My limited notes are from six years ago with Melanie as an outstanding server and our last encounter with a very pleasant, Christina. The service is excellent, the food is excellent. I look forward to the wine tasting, as well. Very knowledgeable attendants and not too stingy on the pours. Yes, we tip generously and usually walk out with a case or two. So who's zoomin' who?

I ordered the veggie fajitas and asked them to add chicken, because I wanted all the veggies (mushroom, onion, and green pepper) with my protein, and none of the fajita dishes had all of those veggies. I pointed to the item on the menu and explained what I wanted and why. I also ordered a cocktail. But... what came was a glob of red with shredded chicken and red sauce on top, which doesn't look like fajitas to me. I asked if this was the fajitas, and she said yes. I thought that maybe it was served differently here, and I figured I'd fine the veggies inside somewhere. I now realize (after looking up the menu online) that what I ate was the veggie enchilada meal, because it was potatoes wrapped in tortillas, and there were no or few veggies involved. My cocktail also didn't come, and we were half way through the meal before the wait staff, who was milling around because there were no other tables inside, made eye contact enough for us to ask for our waitress. She apologized, obviously forgot, and brought the cocktail. The potato enchiladas were tasty, but not what I wanted, so I'm disappointed. The service was clearly disappointing. But the setting and the chips and salsa were good. I'd go back for a drink and to sit outside.

First of all, we had to wait a while to even be greeted by anyone, second, my GF Apple nacho dessert was just a poorly cut apple with part of the stems in it, no one explained to me that I was able to put the toppings on myself, I had to deduce it myself and ask, my dad's coffee tasted like bathroom water, they didn't even have sugar available for the disgusting coffee, which by they way got both my husband and my father sick, the cake was very dry, and the cheesecake was okay. The customer service is just mediocre, and the worst part is the price. I feel like we just had been robed. $33 for 3 desserts is absurd, and the cherry on top is that you don't know how much they'll charge you until the end, and on top of that, they even expect a tip! Which we have not to be rude, but we will never again spend our money on this place. Don't waste your money!
